The whole purpose of a disposable vape pen is the convenience of having it being disposable. However, there are a few steps you can take if you truly want a way to figure out how to successfully charge a disposable vape pen.
Disposable vs Non-Disposable Vape Pens
Disposable vape pens have become one of the most reliable and convenient ways to enjoy a vape session without having to worry about charging, cleaning, loading, and replacing parts. The only thing you would ever have to replace is the vape itself once it has finished. This can be ideal for minimalists and those who are constantly on the go with little time to spare.
Non-disposable vapes on the other hand are truly the gold standard when it comes to portability, stealth, and long-term usage with a device you know inside and out. Those who want a more tailored and dialed-in approach to their vape sessions will find the versatility of a standard vape pen to be superior to all else.
3-in-1 combination vapes like the SteamCloud Box Mod have become one of the most efficient and reliable vapes on the market today. Users will find vapes like this essential when it comes to customizing vape sessions with variable voltage settings and temperature gauges. When it comes to the right type of vape, users will have to weigh in their daily schedules and discover what it is they are looking for in a vape, since both offer their unique benefits.
How to Prepare a Disposable Vape Pen Charger
It should be repeated that you should not attempt to open, recharge, or otherwise use a disposable vape pen once it has been spent. We offer this information for educational purposes only. The truth is that there are no chargers whatsoever for a disposable vape pen. They do not exist, nor are there any ports on a disposable device that could accommodate one.
If you want to recharge a disposable vape pen, you will need a charger that you are willing to destroy. A micro-USB adapter would work for this. Never use large cables or chargers designed for electronics such as a laptop. Now, take a pair of scissors and cut off the end of the charger right below the piece that plugs into your phone. You should see two wires: one red, and one black.
If you see more than those two colored wires, just ignore them. Cut away a few inches of insulation away from the wires you just cut. You should see two copper wires exposed. This is what you will be using to charge your disposable vape pen.
How to Prepare a Disposable Vape Pen for Charging
Accessing the battery on a disposable vape pen is the next step. Take a pair of pliers and gently remove the cap at the bottom of the vape, right where the LED is. Everything should just slide out from the encasing. At this point, if you still see some e-liquid inside the tank, then it will be worth taking the next steps. If not, then there really is no point.
You will notice everything connected with wires: the battery, tank, and LED. The wires will be very fragile and prone to easy breakage. You will need to solder any wires that might inadvertently break back onto the assembly.
Take care not to handle the components too heavily as this could cause the wires to snap or the other pieces to break off. At this point you will either want to continue or just simply throw in the towel and forget about the whole thing, as it is really not worth going through all the trouble, honestly.
How to Combine the Two to Charge the Disposable Vape Pen
Identify the positive and negative terminals on the battery. Some will have a positive and negative symbol, while others might have colors signifying which is which. It should be repeated again, that if you even have to ask which color means what, then you should not be attempting to do this. For the sake of completion, red is positive, and black is negative.
Usually, the battery’s negative terminal will be at the end connected to the LED, while the positive terminal will be the one connected to the tank. Plug the charger into the wall, press the black wire against the black terminal and the red one against the positive terminal. Holding these in place will charge the battery.
Since these batteries are not meant to be charged, you run the risk of the battery exploding, or shocking yourself. Holding the wires in place for a minute or two will yield a couple more hits off your vape, assuming you still have any e-juice left. Holding the wires together for longer than a minute or two will increase the risks involved.
The End Result
The truth is you will not know for sure if all this time and effort will be worth it until you put the vape back together to see if it worked. Not only is it tedious and time-consuming, but it is also risky and cannot be stressed enough. Never use metal or any other material conducive to electrical currents to clamp down or hold the charger in place!
This will almost always result in a complete circuit between the battery terminals and will explode the battery. The best way to go about doing all this is to not even attempt to do it at all. Risking your health over a couple of hits off a disposable vape is just plain stupid. Again, we offer this information for educational purposes only and will not be held responsible for your decisions.
Always remember that the whole point of having a disposable vape is to have it remain disposable. Humans will be humans however, and curiosity has killed and maimed many cats over the course of history. Please, do not be a part of that history. Vape, throw it away, and just buy a new one for Pete’s sake...
